Overview
The 6N137W, produced by onsemi, is a high-speed optocoupler designed for applications requiring fast data transmission and high isolation between input and output circuits. This single-channel optocoupler features a 850 nm AlGaAS LED optically coupled to a very high speed integrated photo-detector logic gate with a strobable output. The device is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package with 0.4" lead spacing, making it suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
